Momcat, I just bought a new digital camera a few weeks ago. I've been taking a lot of pictures of both my cats and my boyfriend's cats with it. I will let the boys take it with them if they promise to take good care of it. It is very small, so little paws should have no trouble using it. It has all the amenities, flash, zoom, etc... I would love some pics of Butchie when he gets his ribbon!
